Subject: [PATCH linux-next] ext4: Remove redundant o_start statements

From: luo penghao <luo.penghao@....com.cn>

The if will goto out of the loop, and until the end of the
function execution, o_start will not be used again.

The clang_analyzer complains as follows:

fs/ext4/move_extent.c:635:5 warning:

Value stored to 'o_start' is never read
